The Dixon Historic Theatre Announces Fundraiser to Pay for Boiler Repair
The Dixon Historic Theatre is seeking community support to cover $28,000 in repairs to its aging boiler system. The theatre’s heating system has kept the building warm through the winter months for decades. While the current boiler is not original to the 104-year-old building, it was likely installed sometime in the 1980s, making it nearly 50 years old.

Many Paths: Galesburg recently lost a musical legend | Opinion
A couple of weeks ago, Galesburg lost a local music legend. Sadly, Sean Kistler left us way too soon. His outright love of what he did was always on display. I never saw a musician that seemed to enjoy his craft as much as him.He taught my son to play guitar over a course of time. He made my son a much better technical guitarist than myself. My son can work the full guitar neck better than I. I am bit of a hack but love to play. Sean on the other hand could master so many songs that I couldn’t even begin to fumble through. His musical performance choices were always top notch in my book as well. If it was a song, Kistler could play it. He had a penchant for rock, and he could bring much of that harder sound to an acoustic guitar. And let’s not forget his classical rendition of “Smelly Cat”.Sean was a huge lover of rock. I gleaned from his discussions and his social media that KISS was a big influence on him. With me, I grew up during a time when singer/songwriters where prevalent. I am talking about these greats: Dylan, Jackson
